DBm G (2x) 
D I'm so glad you made the time to see me
Bm How's life, tell me how's your family
GDA I haven't seen them in a while
D You've been good, busier than ever
Bm We small talk, work and the weather
GDA You're guard is up, and I know why
BmA Because the last time you saw me
DG It's still burned in the back of your mind
BmAG You gave me roses and I left them there to die
D So this is me swallowing my pride
F#m Standing in front of you saying
G "I'm sorry for that night" and I go
DA Back to December all the time
D It turns out freedom ain't
(D) Nothing but missing you
F#m Wishing I'd realized what I had
G When you were mine
D I'd go back to December,
AG Turn around and make it all right
Bm *once A* I go back to December all the time
DBm G (2x) 
D These days I haven't been sleeping
Bm Stayin' up playing back myself leaving
GDA When your birthday passed and I didn't call
D Then I think about summer all the beautiful times
Bm I watch you laughing from the passenger side
GDA And realized I loved you in the fall
BmA And then the cold came the dark days
DG When fear crept into my mind
Bm You gave me all your love and
AG All I gave you was goodbye
D So this is me swallowing my pride
F#m Standing in front of you saying
G "I'm sorry for that night" and I go
DA Back to December all the time
D It turns out freedom ain't
(D) Nothing but missing you
F#m Wishing I'd realized what I had
G When you were mine
D I'd go back to December,
AG Turn around and change my own mind
BmA I go back to December all the time
DBm G (2x)
BmG I miss your tan skin your sweet smile
DA So good to me, so right
BmG And how you held me in your arms
D That September night
ABm -stop The first time you ever saw me cry
 G -stop Maybe this is wishful thinking
D Probably mindless dreaming
(D) A *once If you loved again I swear I'd love you right
Bm *once A* G* I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
Bm* A* G* So if the chain is on your door I understand
BmG And then he said, it's too late to apologize
DA It's too late
BmG He said, it's too late to apologize
DA It's too late
BmG But, this is me swallowing my pride
(It's too late to apologize)

(It's too late)
ABm saying I'm sorry for that night
(It's too late to apologize)
GDA And I go back to December...
(It's too late)
BmG It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
(Its too late to apologize)
DA Wishing I'd realized what I had
(It's too late)
Bm when you were mine
